A family living on Reed street above
Fourth are the owners Of q pretty poll
parrot that has already conclusiveiy
shown the evidence Of early religious
training. The bird ia an unusually bright
one and it salutes the members Of the
family every morning with regularity
that ia as interesting IS it is remarkable.
st. Alphonsus's German Catholic church,
on the southwest corner Of Fourth and
Reed streets, is provided with set OF
chimes which. besides ringing on every
Sunday and holy day, ring out the
"Angelus" every evening. This is for
the purpose Of reminding pious Catholics
who live within the sound Of the bells Of
little prayer that is to be recited at
that time OF the day. Recently one Of
the little girls Of the house began to call
the attention Of the parrot to the ringing
Of the chimes. The bird was a careful
observer, and attentiuely watched the
little one recite the prayer, Suddenly
one evening as the bell rang out the par.
rot jumped from his perch to the bottom
Of its cage, and. assuming a reverend
position, bowed its heat and mumblei
the first few words of the prayer. Since
that time. it is claimed, the parrot is a
regular and attentive to its daily prayer
as any member Of the family - Philadel

Cheap labor. the single gold standard
and free trade are kindred measures.
Most men who fayMpne favor the other.
Cheap labor is NECESSITY under free
trade, and the gold standard by making
money dear makes merchandise relatively
cheap. An opposing set of principles is
tariff on foreigh.made goods, that the
home manufacturer may be able to pay
better wages than bis foreign competitor;
the double standard Of gold and silver,
chat money may maintain its old rela-
ton to merchandise, aud q restriction

Home After Business Hours,

The road along which the man OF
business travels is not a macadamized
one, nor does it ordinarily lead through
pleasant scenes and by well-springs OF
delight. On the contrary, it is rough
and rugged path, bsset with "wait,a-
bit' th0rns, and full of pitfalls, which
can only be avoided by the watchful
care of circumspection. After every
days journey over this worse than
rough turnpike road the wayfarer
reeds something more than rest; he
requires solace and he deserves 1t. He
is weary of the dull prose of life and
athirst for the poetry. Happy is the
husband who can find that solace and
that poetry at home. Warm greetings
from loving hearts, fond glances from
bright eyes, the welcome shouts of
children, the many thousand little ar
Engagements for our comfort and en-
ioyment that silently tell Of thoughtful
and expectant love, the gentle minis
trations that disencumber US into an
old and easy seat before we are aware
of il; these and like tokens of affection
Bnd sympathy constitute the poetry
which reconciles US to the prose o.
life.
Think of this ye wives and daugh-
ters of business men! Think of the
tolls, the anxieties. the notifications
and wear that fathers undergo to Sc.
cure for you comfortable homes, and
then compensate them for their trials
by making them happy by their own
|firesides.

which toughens them and destroys
color and flavor.
TIL 8 time table must always be reg
ulated by the hour at which the meat

to wait five minutes for the vegetables,
there would be loss of pupctuality,
but the dinner will not be damaged.
But If the vegetables are done, and
wait for the meat, your dinner will
be much the worse; yet 20 general is
the custom OF over boiling vegetables or
putting them to cook in haphazard
way, somewhere about the time, that
very many people would not recog-
nize the damage. They would very
quickly see the superiority of vegeta-
bles cooked just the right time, but
would attribute it to some superiority
in the article Itself, that they were
fresher, and finer, not knowing that
the finest and freshest OF vegetables,
improperly cooked, are little better
than the poor ones.

The Wsfs's Strategy.

The most brilliant stratagems OF wal
often appear insignificant when com
pared with the devices practiced by
wemen-particulvrly married women
Ito accomplish tbsir aims. A gentle
man residing on Superior street has Q
wife who goes into Mysteries every
time the fashion plate changes, while
he, on the contrary, has an intense
antipathy for "frills and flounces and
flumadiddles of that sort.
A few evenings ago he came home
from lodge meeting and began making
preparh htions to retire. He had jusl
chased the cat ou. into the shed, hs.
tened the pantry window, and started
to climb onto his downy straw tick,
when he heard low moan coming
from the partner of his joys and sor-
rows a nd stray nickels. Turning ul
the light, he saw that she was appar-
emily sleeping. but couple of bright
tears elistened on her eye-lids, her
bosom heavcd with emotion, and as
her lips moved he caught the words:
"No. he shall never know how
much want that blue-striped silk
dress at only So 25 u yard. l will wear
my young life out with household
drudgery and have my old dresses
made over. l love him too much to
bother him with such matters, but
did want that blue 40 badp and just
then one OF the tears trickled down
her cheek.
Her husband was overcome with re-
morse. and going into the other room,
he called himself a hard-hearted brute
and kicked himself all over the house
mentally. He said nothing, but the
very next day be went out and pur-
chased the identical blue-stripcd silk
dress. His wife said she was delight
ed, and called him an old dear. and
wondered how he could have found
the identical piece of silk she wanted;
but he only smiled as that feeling OF
heavenly calm and silent joy stole
over him which comes to a man when
he has performed a truly noble and
self-sscrifcing deed. A short time
aflerw ard, however, he overheard his
wife remarking to the next door neigh
Dor:
YES, the plan worked just splen.
did! | had great time trying to
squeeze out those two tears, though.
l was afraid he'd find the onion had

Since then the husband has been
walking around town with the dazet
expression of man who has beer hi
on the head with ile-drivcr.

THG CLOTHES THAT KILL.


The advice TO women to promot,
their health by outdoor exercises 4
never wanting. But no amount o
fresh air exercise can save womer
from the evil effects of their preeen
style of dress. 1t Is their clothes tha
kill them.
Every step woman takes, her foo
contends with her skirt. She lifts il
on the instep, and she lifts 1t on the
heel. The weight may be ounces OF
pounds. but it is taken up at every
step. The heavy shirts with fiounces,
|overskirt, hustle, braids and other trim
mings, hang their many pounds and
many yards, tapping around the feet
and legs OF the wearer. The corset
does not allow space 70 take full
breath, and the tight sleeves cause the
muscles to cry for room.
Dressed in this fashion, the wearer
comes back from her walk for "iresh
air and exercise" tired through and
through, and Is the worse for it, be-
cause she has lifted and carried hun
|dreds OF pounds.
Stand at any city street corner, and
watch the women as they pass. How
tired they lookl How their dresses
flap around theml Contrast them with
the men, Mems feet lift no weight Of
clothes. Mems steps contend with
nothing. Every muscle has its natu-
raj exercise. Out. door air and exer-
else are good for them.
The ADVICE women needis for short
or, lighter and looser dresses. Mrs.
Jenness Miller has not come day too
soon with her better costume, if the
health OF women Is TO be improved.
Mrs. Celia 3. Whitehead has shown,
Whats the matter" Before her.
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, nearly forty
wears ago, set the example OF short,
loose dresses.
That style was adopted by many
women, among them Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Miss Susan B. Anthony
and the present writer. How light
and comfortable and neat it wasl How
easily we went up stairs without step
ping on ourselvesl How we came
down stairs without fear Of being step
ped on! A walk on rainy day or in
a muddy street had no terror, for there
were no yards of draggled skirts to
clean.
We had room to breathe, and free.
dom for our feet. But this healthful
dress was "dcspsed and rejected" by
the great public. On one occasion,
Miss Anthony, in company with me,
started to go to the post office in New
York in the Boomer costume. But
we were surrounded and wedged in
by crowd which hooted and jeered.
We escaped only by carriage seLt by
a friend who saw our dilemma.
1t was SO difficult to wear this dress,
with the odium that was cast upon it,
that we returned sorrowfully to the
bondage of our bodies for the sake of
freedom to live unnolested. That was
long ago. Now women might accept
the light, sensible dress which Mrs.
Jenness Miller wears and commends,
without fear of unpleasant comment.
In it they may tase e fresh sir and exer-
else, and gain in health. Mrs. Miller's
